KUWAIT, (PIC)-- Kuwaiti emir Sheikh Subah Al-Ahmad Al-Subah has officially announced Sunday that his government will send the money allocated for Gaza Strip to the Arab Development Fund instead of sending it to the PA in Ramallah city.


The decision of the emir was promulgated after Kuwaiti lawmakers and civil society leaders expressed fears that the money could be wasted if it sent to the team of Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah.
The decision was broadly welcomed among the politicians in Kuwait who revealed that the PA government in Ramallah was relentlessly striving hard to get the money and to handle the rebuilding programs, and not to send it to the legitimate PA government in Gaza Strip.


"The majority of the parliament members were against sending a single penny to the PA of Abbas that lost legitimacy, because this money should go to those who sacrificed their blood and souls for Allah", said Kuwaiti MP Naser Al-Sane'e.

He also urged his country's government to follow the directives of the emir, adding that his group "Parliamentarians against corruption" possesses many documents proving corruption of the PA of Abbas.

"We have reliable information that Kuwait wasn¢t convinced of honesty of the PA in Ramallah, and thus the money won't go to Abbas who lost the mandate as PA president", confirmed Abdul Aziz Al-Shayji, another Kuwaiti legislator.Kuwaiti masses held big demonstrations against the Israel and in support of the Palestinian resistance during the cruel Israeli war on the Gaza Strip that lasted for 23 days and killed more than 1330 Palestinians, the majority of them were children and women.
